any extent in which this plant does not occur, although usually in but 

 small quantity. — James Beitten. 



SuEBET Plants. — Bupleurum tenuissimum, Linn. The only record 

 for this as a Surrey plant in Brewer's ** Flora of Surrey " is a notice 

 by Mr. H. C. Watson, that it was "once observed in the yard of the 

 new church on Epsom Common, but had disappeared when looked 

 for again a few years afterwards."*' It is a plant that is more usually 

 found in maritime counties, and it may therefore interest some of your 

 readers to know that I met with it in tolerable abundance on the 23rd 

 of August in a grassy horse road, leading from the north-west corner 

 of Epsom Common, to the high road from Surbiton to Leatherhead, 

 about half a mile beyond Horton Lodge. I may also mention that I have 

 met with Agrimo7iia odorata^ Mill., which is not noticed by Brewer, 

 in two localities near Hook, a few miles from Surbiton, during this 

 month, and also found a plant of Erysimum orientale in a grassy lane 

 leading from Chessington Church to Burnt Stubb.— E. C. S. Ropee.

REPORT OF THE CURATORS OF THE BOTANICAL 

 EXCHANGE CLUB FOR THE YEARS 1874-5. 



[The Report being very lengthy, we have selected those parts 

 which appeared to be of chief importance, as our space would not 

 allow of reprinting the whole. — Ud. Journ. Bot.'\ 



Ranunculus (acris) vulgafus, Jord. '* Approaching H. Friesii in the 

 breadth of the segments of the root-leaves. Swanbister, Orkney, 1873. 

 Of R. acris only two forms are as yet known to exist in Britain ; 

 R. vulgatus, Jord., with a creeping horizontal or slightly inclined 

 rootstock, and R. tomophyllus, Jord., with a nearly erect rootstock, and 

 with leaves more finely cut than in R. vulgatus.'"'' — J. T. Boswell. 



Ranunculus trilohus, Desf. " Kelso, Roxburgh, probably intro- 

 duced. I have found it both by the riverside and in cultivated 

 ground." — A. Beotheeston. *' As this Mediterranean plant has no 

 doubt been introduced with wool, and is little likely ever to become 

 permanently established north of the Tweed, I should not have 

 noticed it had it not been recorded in various publications as Ranun- 

 culus arvensis, var. inermis, of which up to this time I have seen no 

 British specimens." — J. T. Boswell. 



Ranunculus Ficaria, Linn., var. *' Roadside between Crabtree and 

 Plympton St. Mary, Devon, April 6, 1872." — T. R. Aechee Beiggs. 

 ** An apetalous form new to me." — J. T. Boswell.
